Should anyone wish to buy a gas strut (there are many suppliers) you need one that is rated at 400N. This seems to be the correct rating as when fitted all works well.
I was advised to install the gas strut/spring upside down - ie the rod at the bottom - as this enables oil in the unit to help the seals.
